In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
[Nevermore Cover]
Into a strange new world, into the after
All your tears might find you've fallen too far
Take another look, take another ride
Can't we make them leave the hate behind
And I still believe in nothing
Will we ever see the shape of tomorrow?
Into the empty storm, into the formless loss of hope,
Where we can forget the game
And I still believe in nothing
Will we ever see the cure for our sorrow
Nothing is sacred when no one is saved
Nothing's forever so count your days
Nothing is final and no one is real
Pray for tomorrow and find your empty still
Nothing
Into a strange new world, into the after
All your tears might find you've fallen too far
Take another look, take another ride
Can't we make them leave the hate behind
And I still believe in nothing
Will we ever see the shape of tomorrow?
Into the empty storm, into the formless loss of hope,
Where we can forget the game
And I still believe in nothing
Will we ever see the cure for our sorrow
Nothing is sacred when no one is saved
Nothing's forever so count your days
Nothing is final and no one is real
Pray for tomorrow and find your empty still
Nothing

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This song is a little depressing to me.
"Into a strange new world, into the after All your tears might find you've fallen too far Take another look, take another ride Can't we make them leave the hate behind"
Knowing that Phil went through a break up, I think this is a sort of loss of hope in finding that other one to love. I myself have been there before. Where you start to lose faith that there is someone out there for you. A person in this state of mind can have a lot of anger towards a certain person or people in general. These lines might be about looking past that and giving someone a chance, even though you have been hurt in the past.
"Nothing is sacred when no one is saved Nothing's forever so count your days Nothing is final and no one is real Pray for tomorrow and find your empty still"
It's hard to give yourself to someone after experiencing so much heartache, and a lot of doubt has a tendency to creep into your mind. Without the companionship that we all crave, there is a sense of emptiness in our hearts.
That is a really good interpretation.<br /> <br /> I cant really say what this song is about, because im not too sure. But i do have a few ideas...<br /> <br /> One idea was what the person previouse to me said<br /> <br /> The other is a song trying to look at the athiast point of view, knowing that phil has faith, perhaps he is trying too look at the athiast point of view, stating what they must think and the pointlessness of the idea that nothing is above us and there is no greater power, its kinda hard to explain but i hope you get it. I know and enjoy the fact that most of phils lyrics are christian and i would think that he would sort of be sticking to that form of music and lyrics.
